Completely stage managed to make the questions appear tough.
Ratcliffe will have known all in advance.

Absolutely this.

There’s fucking loads of tough questions that never made it on the page.

How much do you believe the stadium will cost to build & how will finance be raised?

If you run out of cash now, how will you manage the costs of more debt?

Trump Gaza video last week, now this fantasy land video!

The money that you and I (the taxpayers) hand over will inevitably leak into the commercial operation to support Manchester United Football Club.

Inevitably this will be used to cover up all their losses and create a better squad, because the squad they have is shit.

The PSR rules will be adapted to allow this - IT IS A FUCKING DISGRACE.

At the moment the clubs assets are nigh on worthless stadium shit and falling down, over paid, over priced players they cannot offload.

I don't know why but I am fucking fuming.

Ratcliffe knew this when he announced they would be the most profitable team in the world and this should be thoroughly investigated.

I HOPE ALL YOU LABOUR LUVVIES ARE GOING TO SMELL THE COFFEE AND REALISE YOUR GOVERNMENT IS A TOTAL BUNCH OF HYPOCRITICAL ARSEHOLES

Knowing this lot, it will probably be an actual umbrella that blows inside out at the first sign of wind.

I think there are more things to get fucking fuming about than this! It’s hilarious. Just look at the lack of self awareness for a start. Announcing a stadium that looks like a circus tent in their current clown state.

Looks like a fucking circus tent hahaha

Looks like they've finally put up a tent to fumigate the vermin infesting that vile structure

 

[meeesh]

And all the cunts who said to me council house back in the day...................

On this day,in 1941,the Germans bombed Old Trafford which prevented Utd from playing a league home game for 8 years.City saved Utd and allowed them to share Maine Road.

 

[N1985]

I'm not just saying it because it's the rags, but that is absolutely shite and probably the worst new stadium I've ever seen. Brilliant

 

[CTID1988]

Can somebody explain to me how this is to get around FFP and PSR rules? Does building a new stadium stop investigations into spending in some way? Cheers

 

[JASR]

The walk on music for the players was what pushed the AI to design the stadium as it is

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Its one giant PR exercise. Nauseating cunts who are effectively pitching for public money.

Well I think they've got it wrong. They now have a fanbase that are fuming at the low lovel cost cutting whilst he makes multi million pound mistakes. They re now seen as an evil empire club that hammer the poor fans through cost cutting and prices increasing.

He's thrown some of his players under the bus and they will be fucked off. Theyre' going to be looking for govn funding for their new stadium and he's managed to make everyone see them as billionaires scrounging money from the ttax payer...... Hes gotten rid of the the ONLY players that Amorins tactics can work with in Rashford, Antony, etc. There's so many things he is getting very wrong. How did he make his money ffs, it must be easy once you have some capital or something because he seems completely inept.

The dippers used "Stadium development" as a way of avoiding FFP a few years ago.

 

[Stato]

They should have used pictures after the bombing rather than black and white modern day ones

Its the fucking hypocracy and the political leaders and football authorities that are kowtowing to pander to their needs that gets to me.

 

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

One thing is for certain, no way that scruffy **** or the glazers are putting their hands in their pockets. Can't see the govt ponying up more than they saved by cutting winter fuel payments to buy the rags a new circus tent either in the current economic climate.

Its a begging exercise. They may as well be sat outside fucking lidl in a sleeping bag with a cup out.

Cheers. What's the thinking behind it though? Why do they let you off if you're building a new stadium?

 

[City Hobgoblin]

Interesting that Scruffy Jim mentions that the larger stadium will bring the tourists flocking in, but no mention of more affordable tickets for local fans

 

[smevchenko]

Irrespective of cost, and how they are going to pay for it (They have said they are paying for it as part of a huge government regeneration program), if it does get built, and with Lord Foster involved, it will obviously be the best stadium in the country. It might not be to everyone's taste, but as the most modern stadium built to such a size, it will become a landmark that tourists will flock to.

If I go to Madrid or Barcelona or Munich, I always fancy a trip to the stadiums because I love football and they are iconic. The same can be said about Manchester United and Old Trafford unfortunately, even in its current state.

I think I said in an earlier post, it's only a matter of time before they get a new stadium, and they aren't going to build some half hearted stadium with a similar capacity to what they have now. Biggest stadium in the country and likely to have facilities that make most of the others in the league look second rate.

If they finance it for themselves, then fair enough, and the extra income it will generate will obviously help with servicing the borrowed cost. Whether you like it or not, their brand is still huge.

Hopefully the team on the field stays shit for a long time to come.
